WE recently made reference to some of
the more recent essayists who have replied
to Henry Georges property and land tax
fallacies. Among Others, comes Edward
Gordon Clark, who quotes George as affirm
ing Aristotles definition of natural
wealth" as the bounty of nature" George
adopts this definition, putting it in this
form: Land is the whole material uni
verse outside of man himself" Now, says
his critic, if land includes all natural
wealth, and land is to bear all taxation, a
tax on merely the ground is not land
tax at all, for to be such it would have to
be placed on all natural wealth-the whole
"bounty of nature" Timber and stone are,
then, segments of the bounty of nature,
yet George would not tax the natural
wealth in timber and stone; he would not
tax a house, but the plat under it; not tax
lump of gold, but the hole from which
it is excavated. But he says society, popu-
lation, give increasing value to land; but
here is his error, for the presence Of society
in like manner affects everything else. 1t
increases the value of every stone and
stick put into form for use upon land, and
every stroke of labor expended thereon.
So there is no value without society, since
a single man isolated upon land gives no
value to it there must at least be two per-
sons one wanting something the other
has. The wealth of property in the United
States, in 1882, was SAL, 1875, 100000, but
land was valued at but Sl0,750,0O0,0O0, or
only about one-quarter, yet George would
make that small part bear all the public
burdens of the other three-fourths in adj
dition to its own. So, while he thinks
George has reflected or inaugurated cor
rect tendency, this latest of all the essay
lists holds that as the new economist would
exempt land (the bounty of nature), when
taken out of land (the ground), and trans
ferred into varied wealth, he has been
guilty "of one of the most glaring and
disjointed non-sequiters that ever broke
itself in two with its own logic"

THE explosion of the cargo of powder
and dynamite of wrecked schooner near
the Cliff House, San Francisco, Saturday
night. suggests the idea that some provis-
ion is necessary to save ships from drifting
ashore just below the Golden Gate, when
fair ofiing is not secured. Within few
days two vessels have been wrecked upon
the rocky shore Just below Fort Point, and
in each case the loss was due to failure of
the wind after the vessels had reached
line drawn from the northernmost head
land to the Cliff House In the last few
years a half dozen ships have been lost
upon the same shore. Whether it would
be feasible to maintain a steam tug patrol
off the heads to rescue vessels thus left to
the mercy of drifting, nautical experts
alone can decide, but it would appear to
landsmen that something of this kind
might be done. Some sheltered place may
be found where patrol boat could house,
ready to respond to signals of distress from
drifting ships.

to realize that this is case of nothing
venture, nothing have" Northern Cali
fornia is able to raise $780, 900, or more, in
the next two years to present its claims
abroad. If San Joaquin is able, as it is,
and will do, to pledge itself for $4,000
for single year, Sacramento and the whole
north section should be equal to the rails
ing of twice as much. Outside of the
Citrus Fair effort, and which was in the
right direction, and cannot be too highly
commended, and few large contributions
by few business men, the great burden OF
presenting the country abroad has fallen
upon the press at heavy expense. The
newspapers have done and are doing all
that can be asked of such influences, and
at an expense, too, that has not been
rewarded by cent of profit to them, nor
any return at all proportioned to the labor
put forth and the responsibility assumed.
Let the people of the north section clearly
understand this matter; they must "take
hold" in the literal sense of the term
there must be individual effort, as well as
union of endeavor; our landowners must
do something more than express readiness
to subdivide and sell, and our people some
thing more than laud the climate. The
example of Southern California is before
us. There not only was the invitation to
come extended, but when the home-seeker
came he found provision made for his oc-
cupancy of lands, and readiness to aid him
in what, to the immigrant coming from
afar, is one of the most momentous under
takings of his life. Unless we move very
speedily in this matter, and with more en-
ergy and vastly larger contribution than in
the past, we shall see ourselves outstripped,
and San Jose, Stockton and other places
become the populous centers, with fixed
commercial strength, to which we must
remain secondary.

Probably this was because he vas not
